A recent posting that was sent out listing local farmers markets was once again based on a "Next Pittsburgh" article that omitted two local farmers markets: * Garfield Community Farm - Farmers Market* and the *Farmers'* * Market **Cooperative of East Liberty*. Apparently I've taken on the mantle of making sure word gets out about all of our local farmers markets. Last time I sent this email I forgot to mention that Garfield Community Farm has a farmers market, so I've included that one as well this time. -Brent *Garfield Community Farm - Farmers Market* https://www.garfieldfarm.com/whats-happening Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30 pm. Outside of Valley View Church on the corner of North Aiken and Mossfield 601 N Aiken Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206 *Farmers' Market Cooperative of East Liberty* This is the oldest market in Western Pennsylvania, is held indoors and open year round from 5 am to noon on Saturdays. http://www.farmers market cooperative of eastliberty.com/ <http://www.farmersmarketcooperativeofeastliberty.com/> The market is located at 344 N. Sheridan Avenue, right across from the entrance to the Home Depot garden center. The Farmers' Market Cooperative of East Liberty is a permanent, indoor farmers' market. We are open every Saturday, year-round, from 5 am to 12 noon. We are located in the East Liberty neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, making us the only year-round market operation in our city. We are one of the only sources of locally grown meat and fresh produce during Pittsburgh's winter months. *History and Background* We are the oldest continuously operating market in western Pennsylvania. We are 76 years old - the first day of operation was July 5th, 1941! *What Makes the Market a "Cooperative?"* You do not have to be a member of this cooperative in order to shop with us each week! We are a "cooperative," because the market is owned by the farmers. Historically, the market had a larger number of owners, but now the ownership group includes 4 active farming families. They are: - The Kennedy Family - John and Val and their 3 children operate the J. L. Kennedy Meat Stand - Rick Zang - owner of Zang's Greenhouse - Tim and Suzanne Hileman - owners of Kistaco Farm - Ina and John Greenawalt and children Bryan and Melanie operate Greenawalt Farms The market also includes a number of other vendors that help bring a diversity of products to the market each week. Please visit Our Vendors page to learn more about each of them! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Highland Park Community Council <hpccpgh@gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jun 18, 2021 at 10:27 AM Subject: Farmer's Markets Info To: List Serv Postings <neighborhood@highlandparkpa.com> Below is a list of farmers markets near Highland Park taken from NEXTPittsburgh.
